Fazanda Sao Francisco Do Corumbau Activities
Corumbau is an extensive area, stretching across 15 km of pristine, protected coastline. Defined by crystal clear waters and massive palm trees, Corumbau is most certainly the perfect place for water-babies.
The calm seas are ideal for stand-up paddle boards, and make for a unique way of seeing the coastline. Snorkelling and swimming are a given, and the retreat has plenty of equipment to borrow. There’s a 10km reef leading out from the bay that teems with brightly colour fish. For more activities above water, grab a canoe and cross the Corumbau River to explore the Patatox Inidan Reserve.
Take a boat trip out to see the Jubarte humpack whales that breach from July - October.The crystalline mangrove swaps are some of the best preserved in Brazil, and the retreat has a wooden bridge that leads into the wonderland. There’s another boat trip that’s pretty spectacular - the sunset sail on a river bar that meanders its way through the mangroves.
Cycle along the beach at low tide, cruise your way to the mangroves and just enjoy a leisurely bike ride in paradise. There really is so much to do at this outdoor retreat!
